The last couple of days have been too busy to sew, there’s no time… I still can spare a few minutes in the morning to take a few pictures though. I made the purple coat last year but never got to reviewing the pattern (it’s from the September 2008 BurdaStyle magazine, model 101)… I will try to review it later if I can find the time. The pleather shorts were also made by me, the review can be found here.I wish all my friends and readers a Happy Christmas!!

Today’s outfit was entirely made by me: the Celine inspired jacket (sewing details here, pattern available here) and the cowl neck tunic/dress (sewing details here, tutorial here and pattern available here).Sorry for the frowning face; I got up a little sick today. It would have been nice to stay in bed and rest some more but instead I had to get dressed in a hurry and go to work…

My outfit this morning; this is another black outfit, but I added a little splash of red this time (scarf and nail polish). I made the leggings and the frilled top that I’m wearing.it’s Missy’s second appointment to the vet and she’s not happy to go out in a cage.

It was really windy, so forgive the messy hair… I am aware that this outfit is not everybody’s cup of tea, but I really love this style and I felt great in it. I’ve own these boots since my twenties… They are some sort of talisman for me; they were one of the first designer pieces that I’ve bought.Most of you already know that I’ve made the gray cloak and the black leggings and sweater (sewing details here and here, respectively).

I wore the first outfit at home when I had some friends over two weekends ago. The last pictures show today’s outfit as I got home from the office (I came home late and really tired; I’ve been swamped with work and it won’t slow down until my Christmas break). The jacket is real shearling and it’s second-hand, bought online. The dress was made by me and those interested can find the sewing details here. xoxo

I’ve own this jacket for more than two years, and I’ve been a fan of this style before the trend came out with the Burberry Prorsum Fall10 show. This one is made of leather and synthetic fur on the inside. I also own a jacket made of real shearling that I bought second-hand online.Thank you all for all for visiting and commenting! A big welcome to the new followers!

I made this burgundy cardigan this weekend (sewing details will be published later at Couture et Tricot) and I’m wearing it with my Gareth Pugh inspired scarf. I really love how this sweater drapes and it can be worn in so many ways.

When I saw Hanh’s beautiful Gareth Pugh scarf, I knew I had to make one for myself. Hanh is the author of Life In Travel blog and has a very unique style and a fantastic collection of shoes and accessories. I find her blog very inspirational and an excellent read; not only she shares great outfit inspiration but also pictures of her travels around the world, her wonderful family and fantastic and exotic food! Hanh's blog is tasty in every way!

I made this green fur vest yesterday from a BurdaStyle downloadable pattern (I downloaded it a long time ago, I have no idea if it’s still available). I really love this shade of green. Sewing details will be published later are published here. I almost forgot, the leggings and top were also made by me, the details are here.

Taking my chance between rain showers, here I am wearing the cloak that I finished yesterday (click here for the sewing details and here to know where the inspiration came from; I drafted the pattern from scratch). I styled it with earthy tones today; next time you’ll see it with black leather and biker boots (the boots are on their way to me, I ordered them a few days ago).My small vacation break is over and I’m back to the office, so less time to sew from now on…

The tunic and the skirt were made by me. The first pictures I took from this tunic (I was wearing it with black pleather shorts) were too dark (taken at night after coming back of a night out with friends) and I didn’t like how they turned out. Today I was finally able to take acceptable pictures, and also debut my black frilled skirt. The tunic has really low cleavage and it’s cold so I’m wearing a mesh top underneath.

Here I am wearing the fake fur jacket and snood that I made yesterday (click here to read about the sewing details). I styled it with a black outfit (black sweater with pleather sleeves and skinny pants, all made by me, click here for the details) and a black kitty, as you can see in the last two pics, lol!

I made this dress last weekend, and I love its 80’s vibe and draped collar. When Paco asked me to try out his new tunic pattern (soon to be available for purchase at his blog), I didn’t hesitate: I am a sucker for dramatic collars and this one is very original because it’s deep and wide on the front and narrower on the back. It’s also long; it could almost be used as a hood (details will be are published at my sewing bloglater).
